Welcome to the next tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. Our previous tutorial taught us to make a button-controlled "music box" that plays different sounds depending on which buttons are pressed. In this lesson, we will configure our raspberry pi for voice control.
What will you learn?
Like the Amazon Echo, voice-activated gadgets are becoming increasingly popular, but you can also construct your own with a Raspberry, a cheap USB mic, and some appropriate software. Simply speaking to your Raspberry Pi will allow you to search YouTube, view websites, activate applications, and even answer inquiries.
What will you need?
Because the Raspberry Pi lacks a soundcard or audio port, this project requires a USB microphone or a camera with a ...
Abstract: This paper is written to represent a web-server based real-time weather monitoring system implemented using the ESP32 module. The system is designed to measure the weather conditions like temperature, pressure, humidity etc, in its vicinity. This system continuously provides real-time data (weather conditions) over limited or controlled areas, for example, agriculture fields, homes or a particular room, industries etc. Although we have satellites for weather monitoring but to perform research over a particular area, the data observed should be highly accurate which is not possible with satellites. To implement an IoT network we need to use a webserver to continuously store and display the real-time data which can be accessed globally. ’T ...
Greetings! This is the complete project of our Raspberry Pi 4 tutorials. In our previous tutorial, we learned to set up our raspberry pi as a virtual private network server. In this tutorial, we will design a smart attendance system using an RFID card reader, which we will use to sign in students in attendance in a class.
First, we will design a database for our website, then we will design the RFID circuit for scanning the student cards and displaying present students on the webpage, and finally, we will design the website that we will use to display the attendees of a class.
Components
RFID card kit
Breadboard
Jumper wires
Raspberry pi 4
I2C LCD screen
Design a database in MySQL server
Additionally, the Database server offers a DBMS ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. It's the 8th tutorial in our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the previous lectures, we interfaced LCD 16x2 and Keypad 4x4 with Raspberry Pi 4. In this chapter, we are not going to interface any external module with Pi, instead, we'll create a PWM signal in the raspberry pi using Python. Let's get started:
Components RequiredWe are going to use the below components in today's PWM project:
Raspberry Pi 4.
LED.
A resistor of 330 ohms.
Breadboard.
Jumper wires.Before going forward, let's first understand what is PWM:
What is PWM?
In PWM(Pulse Width Modulation), we simply turn on and off our power supply at regular intervals and thus ...
Welcome to the second chapter of our beginner's course on the Raspberry Pi. In the previous tutorial, we learned about the components of this little computer. We also considered its uses, as well as the most important advantages and disadvantages. Let's get started with setting up our little computer to run the Raspbian operating system in this lesson.
How to Install Raspbian using an imager
The next step is to make sure you have your board and SD card. The Raspberry Pi has an operating system because it is a full computer. For those who prefer a GUI desktop experience, a headless mode is still an option. Most people use Raspbian, a Debian-based operating system tailored specifically for the Raspberry Pi. However, there are other options. An exce ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing well. Welcome to the 11th tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the previous chapter, we have seen how to regulate the speed of a Stepper motor with Raspberry Pi 4. Today, we'll work on the servo motor and will control it with RPi4. So, let's get started:
Components Required:We will need the following components to control Servo Motor with Raspberry Pi 4:
Raspberry Pi 4.
Servo Motor.
Male-to-female jumper wires.
What is a servo motor?
A Servo Motor is a simple DC motor with a position feedback Control System and a gearbox.A Servo Motor's primary advantage is its ability to maintain its shaft's angular position at any desired angle i.e. if we want to keep our shaft at 67 degre ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we discussed the installation procedure of Visual Studio Code for programming Raspberry Pi Pico.
We have already mentioned in our previous tutorials that RP2040 or Raspberry Pi Pico supports multiple programming languages like C/C++, Circuit python, MicroPython cross-platform development environments. Raspberry Pi Pico module consists of a built-in UF2 bootloader enabling programs to be loaded by drag and drop and floating-point routines are baked into the chip to achieve ultra-fast performance.
There are multiple development environments to program a Raspberry Pi Pico board like Visual Studio Code, Thonny Python IDE, Arduino IDE etc.
So, in this tutorial, we will learn how t ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface the PIR sensor to detect motion with the Raspberry Pi Pico module and MicroPython programming language. Later in this tutorial, we will also discuss the interrupts and how to generate an external interrupt with a PIR sensor.
Before interfacing and programming, the PIR and Pico boards let’s first have a look at the quick introduction to the PIR sensor and its working.
Fig. 1 Raspberry Pi Pico and PIR sensor
PIR motion sensor and its working
PIR stands for Passive Infrared sensors and the PIR module we are using is HC-SR501. As the name suggests the PIR or passive infrared sensor, produces TTL (transistor transistor logic) output (that is either HIGHT o ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing well. Welcome to the 9th tutorial of our Raspberry Pi programming course. In the last chapter, we generated a PWM signal from our Raspberry Pi to control the brightness of an LED. We also studied different functions used in Python to perform PWM. In this chapter, we'll get a bit advanced with PWM and use it to control the speed and direction of a DC motor with the help of a motor driver IC.
To control the speed & direction of the DC Motor, we will:
Design a Circuit Diagram.Write Python code.
Components RequiredWe will use the following components to control the DC motor speed:
Raspberry Pi 4.DC Motor.Motor driver IC(L293D).Breadboard.
Jumper wires.
Controlling DC Motor speed wi ...
Hi friends and hope you are all very well. Today, we are going to deal with one of the most important and common problems that would be there in everyday tasks in industry and its solution. The problem is the safety of equipment and operators by preventing the machine from running under specific conditions for realizing the safety of equipment and human as well. Not only does it fulfill safety but also it is for performing the designed sequence of operation. If there is a problem, then it should be the solution for it. the solution is what so-called “Interlock”. So, what is interlock? And why do we need it? And how we can design a good interlock? Well! We may find such concerns exist in two aspects which are safety and operation sequence. In the f ...
